Ministry Development

This morning I’m off to the Motherhouse to drive out to King’s House for Ministry Development. We Sisters are priviledged to participate as well as the management at OSF Healthsystem.

What’s that?? Glad you asked :-)

The purpose of the Ministry Development Program is to assist all our employees to understand, support, and actively share in our mission in Catholic Healthcare and to pass this heritage on to others. The program was designed to enrich the personal and professional growth and development of individuals at all levels of our organization.

More details to follow when I get back. God bless and keep all who read this.

On Tuesday OSF Saint Mary’s Medical Center celebrated 100 years of service to Galesburg, IL and the surrounding communities. 14 of us Sisters(including all 7 of us from the House of Formation) traveled to Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church in Galesburg for Mass and a reception in celebration of this most special event. Bishop Daniel R. Jenky, CSC was the main celebrant. The history of OSF St. Mary’s Medical Center can be found here. And The Catholic Post was there to celebrate with us.

The Lord has blessed us with a sacred mission to “nurse the sick with the greatest care and love”(Words in quotations are from Mother M. Frances Krasse, our Foundress). We sincerely thank all our dedicated employees who help us to carry on this work as we look toward the future of our Community and of OSF Healthsystem.
